Sorry, my previous comment was to the pictures of the unpainted models.  If I looked close to the last pictures, they were both painted.  They look very nice.  Great job on both of them.

thx they are both from starship modeler  great castings and great price  though my wife would argue with that

here is he two mocked up    also i used an extra starfury pilot face for the pilot  

i really had a bad time with th ecanopy but it is finally close enough for me

heres the pics

yes i am in the battlestar section  my username there is k-dog

i got the decals on last night while watching a movie now i have to go back and weather them

well this project is about done   the canopy is still givin me fits but its close enough before i throw the model (i would never do that)

im calling this dio the  KILL SHOT as the viper is in th ebest killing position

had fun with this and it was much easier with two great kits i will be getting more of these and doing them in differant colors and schemes

edit

i did have a problem with a few decals shattering so some may want to hit the sheets with some more clear just to ensure you dont have this problem    My prob decals where to Galactics and the pilot names for the side of the cockpit   the galacticas worked out as i just blended them in as part of the weathering

I had to sand down the canopy on my studio scale too and it still never really fit the shape perfect. A weak spot for both kits I guess. My decals went on fine, though a bit thick. After spraying on another coat of Future and weathering they were fine. I used the back of an Exacto blade to "break in" the decals.

You should paint your next Viper in grey like in season 3 opener.
